For some reason I cannot get the media bar to show up. I dont have a button
at the top and YES i have gone to the options to add the button but it is not
there either and YES i did go into advanced options and selected play media
in IE but that doesnt help either. Is there a fix to this? Can I redowload IE
6 for windows XP?

Thanks :D

Media bar was removed from XP SP2.
Security in Internet Explorer 6
To help improve security, Media Bar has been removed from Internet Explorer
6. For this preliminary release of SP2, however, the Group Policy settings
for Media Bar have not been removed. Because Media Bar is no longer
available, these settings will not function.

Although you can no longer use Media Bar, you can listen to digital media by
downloading and using Microsoft Windows Media® Player 9 Series.

For information about Windows Media Player 9 Series, including how to
download it, see the Windows Media Player 9 Series Web site.

For information about security-control settings, see the topic, "More Secure
Browsing Technologies," in "Changes to Functionality in Service Pack 2 for
Microsoft Windows XP" on the TechNet Web site.
